In my previous role, I worked as a full-time Business Development Representative (BDR) for Zylo, the world’s leading Software as a Service Management & Optimization Platform based out of Indianapolis, Indiana. During my time as a BDR, I was able to use my skill set in sales, communications, and organization to drive qualified sales opportunities through various outbound channels. These channels included cold calling, emailing, LinkedIn messaging, and collaboration with teammates and account executives. Throughout my collegiate career, I spent four years in the fashion retail industry and had the opportunity to engage in two corporate internships; providing me with professional experience in corporate marketing, sales, and organizational communications. My previous class and internship experiences have armed me with a multitude of skills ranging from sales, public relations, client services, and communications, providing me with versatility unlike any other. Those skills entail strong writing, editing, excellent public speaking, and high-functioning organizational and leadership skills. Technological skills range from CRM programs such as Salesforce & Salesloft, Adobe Suite Programs such as Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign to Microsoft Office Suite, G Suite, and Personify, formally known as Wild Apricot.
